I would think the standard discount was 15% but this calcualation is nearer 16%
Divide the smaller number by the larger number in this case it's 0.8411 the difference between this number and 1 is the % discount

SMC Business! Quiet Good! The products are fine! They sell it for cheaper prices. Well, by the way:
Discount % = [(Marked Price - Sales Price) / Marked Price] * 100%
Discounted Price = Marked Price - Discount% * Marked Price

Good Luck!

219.95 - 185 = X
X / 219.95 = discount percentage.

Sounds like you need to do your own homework.
